Southern, Eastern, and Southeast Asia are some of the most densely populated regions globally, with over 4.3 billion people (55% of the world population). The region contributes 49% of all new cancer cases (9.2 million) and 53% of cancer deaths (5.1 million) worldwide each year. China and India combined account1

Universal health coverage (UHC) ensures all individuals have access to the high-quality health services they need without experiencing financial hardship. However, UHC access remains unequal worldwide, and in 2021, about 4.5 billion people lacked full coverage for essential health services (Map 46.1).

There are two approaches to early detection – screening and early diagnosis. Screening aims to detect cancers or pre-cancerous lesions in otherwise healthy and asymptomatic individuals, whereas early diagnosis identifies symptomatic cancers at the earliest possible stage (Figure 36.1).

The delivery of high-quality, patient-centered cancer care requires capacity across multiple domains (infrastructure, staffing, resources, research, and data management systems) and multidisciplinary collaboration among health care centers, governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the international community. There remain unmet needs across the main modalities of cancer treatment in many areas of the1

What started with one person in the US in 1985 to raise money and awareness has become a true global movement against cancer, uniting people in 35 countries (Figure 44.1) to do what no one country or organization can do alone: build a world free from cancer. Across the globe,1

Tobacco products cause at least 17 forms of cancer, and are collectively responsible for over 2 million cancer deaths per year (Figure 4.1).

People are living longer after a cancer diagnosis due to advances in early detection and treatment. There are close to 54 million people worldwide who are currently diagnosed with a cancer diagnosis within five years (Figure 31.1).

Global cancer control requires a coordinated response from national governments, researchers, funders, practitioners, advocates, patients, and international organizations. Multiple high-level resolutions have called for reduced cancer mortality, but work remains to meet targets and understand what approaches work best, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where burden is increasing.1

Modifiable risk factors cause a large proportion of cancer cases and deaths. A recent study shows that an estimated 40% of all cancer cases and 44% of cancer deaths in the United States are attributable to a combination of modifiable risk factors, including tobacco use, excess body fatness, and alcohol1
